‘We Do Not Consent’ is project that gives an in-depth look at the protests and demonstrations that took place in London during COVID lock downs. My aim was to examine the use of police powers, the behaviour of the crowd of demonstrators who could sometimes become angry and the tactics that the police used to control them. It was shot on the streets of London between May 2020 and May 2021 – the high point of the COVID lockdowns in England. Abandoning my usual set up of a pair of Canon 5DS, I switched to a couple of X-Pro2s, usually with an XF18mmF2 on one body and either the XF35mmF1.4 or the XF10-24mmF4 on the other.

Fujifilm sat down with Camera Kitamura to talk about the Fujinon XF150-600mmF5.6-8 R WR and I personally can’t wait to receive mine. It sounds like Fujifilm struck a pretty unique balance when designing this lens and I can’t wait to push it to the limit by shooting some color moons that fill the 1800mm frame […]

“I did a bad thing” I responded to my partner as they asked me what’s in the newly delivered parcel I received last Saturday morning. I really wasn’t going to buy any more stuff, at least not until I put some items on Ebay first.
